The Importance of Assessment in P.E. Planning

Assessment in P.E. serves several purposes:

Ongoing Observation

Observing students during P.E. lessons can provide valuable insights into their skills, effort, attitudes, and understanding.

Digital tools can simplify the assessment process, allowing you to easily record, track, and analyse student progress.
